and men have come to know thy love

in the love of the Father, in the salvation of the Son

and in the communion of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Evening Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ!

In this evening hour, in this city,

where Thy blessing rested,

In the midst of all sufferings, sins and troubles,

Thou who sufferest and took upon Thyself

the plagues of the human race,

because He loved us,

You, who have come here,

Be with us.

Lord, you carried the Cross,

teach us to bear suffering and labor for the sake of our loved ones.

Lord Jesus Christ,

Thou seest our wounds and our infirmities,

pour strength into us, make us strong, courageous,

worthy witnesses

Your Divine Gospel.

Lord Jesus Christ,

Give us in the days that Thou hast given us,

to carry Thy Cross as a banner.

Lord Jesus Christ, help us.

Thank you for all the wonderful things

what Thou givest us in nature, in the temple,

in the Sacrament, in Thy Holy Scriptures,

in what people inspired by Thee have written,

in our loved ones, in our loved ones,

in everything that fascinates us, excites us, surprises us.

For everything we thank Thee, O Lord.

Let us be true bearers of Your Name.

Amen.

Prayers on the Feast of the Meeting of the Lord
